Perfect Scoundrels!

by 54 Comments

Hi everyone,

I write to you tonight from Houston where I just had a fantastic launch day for Perfect Scoundrels!

So many awesome schools and readers and, of course, the fab Blue Willow Books.

(And donuts…so many donuts.)

Tomorrow I’ll be at Murder by the Book (also in Houston), so please come see me.  And check out the News & Events section of this website for complete tour stop information!

A few housekeeping things:

–I hear the the new book isn’t available for the Barnes & Noble Nook.  As far as I know, that is some kind of clerical error and they are working on it.  I honestly thought it would be up today (and it was supposed to be), so hopefully it will be there very, very shortly.

–BIG news: the first 46 pages of Perfect Scoundrels is now up on spiesandthieves.com and you can read them for FREE!  So check it out.  Right here.

–Remember, I’m just at the start of tour.  Please check out the News & Events page to see if I’m coming near you.  (Phoenix, Toronto, Los Angeles, Portland, Cincinnati, Lansing, St. Louis)  I’d love to meet you soon!

–If you can’t attend one of the events, most of the stores will be happy to get a book signed for you and then ship it to you!  Check out the stores’ websites for details.

 

And now I’m going to bed!  Gotta get up early to work on Gallagher Girls 6 before heading to Murder by the Book tomorrow night.  I hope to see you there!

Ally

  1. The first 46 pages are so good. I’m reading with tears in my eyes. Not because it’s sad but because I’m so incredibly happy to see these characters again. Nothing compares.

      • OMG when my copy came in the mail, I was like OH MY GOD!!! YAYYYYYYY!!!!! my sister was so mad because she asked my mom for it too, but I was the one who got it. The same thing happened with Out of Sight, Out of Time and I was beginning to feel sorry for my sister, but now I’m just ecstatic to have my own copy!!!!! 😛

  16. Ally, every time you write a new book, I`m always afraid it won`t surpass the emotions the last one made me feel, and the joy I felt when I finished it, but once again you`ve shocked me and blown everything else out of the water.
    Perfect Scoundrels was so….perfect, for lack of a better word. It was so much more than I had thought it would be.
    Thank you. You`re the reason I want to be a writer when I grow up (if the thief thing doesn’t work out….).

  17. For weeks now I’ve been telling my mum to buy the book once it came out yesterday and yesterday when she came home SURPRISE! What did she have in the bag? Perfect Scoundrels! I am so happy. I can’t put it down. On chapter 16 or 17 so far because school interrupts and doesn’t allow me to read, but I love the Heist Society books so much I would cry honest, true tears for it. The Heist Society is my favourite book series ever! And I read a lot of books so that’s really a great thing to say.

  24. I ate this book up…actually I have devoured all of Ally’s tern novels at least twice each!
    I was reading the third heist book during school and every time hale kissed kat or they called
    eachother bf and gf I would call her over and we would just squeal for a couple
    minutes! lol…in all seriousness though, your books have inspired me to love reading
    and to take pride in my joy for books! Thanks!

  26. I got the book on my kindle the day it came out and finished it that day!! I LOVED IT!!!!! Great work! Great work!

  31. So Perfect Soundrels…where to begin? I have always loved the Gallagher Girls series. It has always been my favorite series like…ever. When you came out with Heist Society I liked it a lot but I always kind of liked GG better. Uncommon Criminals was pretty good, don’t get me wrong I loved HS and HS2 but they were always my second favorite. PERFECT SCOUNDRELS! That was an amazing book and now the GG and HS are about even. It was incredible. You are so good at writing relationships so they aren’t eye roll worthy. The book is more than just a relationship and you have just the right amout. Since GG6 will be your last GG book, I have no problem replacing that series with HS. Your books are always worth the wait. It is probably safe to say that I don’t enjoy reading. Even if i find a book I like, I still sometimes finding myself dreading having to turn the page and read some more. Your books are completely different. I have read almost all your books in one sitting when time was permitted and I never get bored. Thank you for making reading enjoyable to me even if it’s only for a few hours.

  32. I would also like to add that I greatly appreciate the effort you put into writing your books and I know writing a book is not easy, much less writing a good one. I wouldn’t care if it took one year or five, because your books are more than worth the wait.

  34. I just wanted to say that my birthday was two days before Perfect Scoundrels came out. My friend came up to me and asked me not to by your book. I looked at her like she was crazy, but then it hit me. She got me the book for my birthday, and it is the BEST birthday present EVER!!! It was amazing! I love your books
